The Obama administration is demanding the nation’s two biggest shipping companies police the contents of Americans’ sealed packages, and a FedEx spokesman is warning that the move “has the potential to threaten the privacy of all customers that send or receive packages.”

FedEx and UPS are in the Justice Department’s cross-hairs for not flagging shipments of illegally prescribed drugs the companies say they had no way of knowing were in their possession.

Criminal charges could be coming against the carriers, even though the government has not alleged any deliberate wrongdoing by the companies.

FedEx spokesman Patrick Fitzgerald said his company has a 40-year history of actively assisting the government crackdown on any criminal conduct, but he told WND this probe was very different from the start.

“What is unusual and really disturbing is it became clear to us along the way that FedEx was being targeted for some level criminal activity as it relates to these medicines that are being shipped from pharmacies, and we find it to be completely absurd because it’s really not our role,” Fitzgerald said. “We have no way of knowing what is legal and not within the packages that we’re picking up and delivering in this situation.”

“At the heart of the investigation are sealed packages that are being sent by, as far as we can tell, licensed pharmacies. These are medicines with legal prescriptions written by licensed physicians. So it’s difficult for us to understand where we would have some role in this. We are a transportation company that picks up and delivers close to 10 million packages every day. They are sealed packages, so we have no way of knowing specifically what’s inside and we have no interest in violating the privacy rights of our customers,” Fitzgerald said...

I can attest to the truth of this, though FedEx is in fact also opening packages (even though they try to say they're not in the story) because two of my packages over the last two weeks or so, one postal service, and one FedEx, have been opened before I received them...

The most fucked up part about mine was one was just a book from Amazon, and it was clearly marked AMAZON! The FedEx package was a document envelope, with just a five page document inside, there were no bulges, nothing shaking around, so there was damn well no reason to open the envelope!

These fuck heads are just screwing with us now...

I always get it directly from the driver so I'm like "Why is my package open?" he's like... "Must have happened during shipping." I'm like "The tape is neatly cut as if with a sharp blade and then more tape is layered directly and unevenly on top of it...and it's exactly this way with all three packages" he's like "I don't know nothing about that."

Yeah my document envelope from FedEx was cut with a razor along the top then re-sealed with tape. But the pull strip to open the envelope was entact!

The drivers always just shrug when you ask them...

Just got a horrible thought, combine this with what you posted about Safedeposit boxes, as well as other things, and you get justification to search homes without warrant. Bit by bit they are quickly going there.

Yep, same here. One package was from my Mom the other from 4corners phamacy. Clean cut tape then tape over it.

^^^ That was one of my first thoughts. As well as the Orwell comment, and the "open their own banks" comment almost dropped me with laughter. Thank you OP. Great thread.

If someone would have told me all of this 8-10 yrs ago I would have laughed at them and called them crazy. Now it seems it is happening and there's nothing we can do because they are all crooked and in on it. This really sucks. Where will we be in another 2-5 yrs?

Ya like writing them is gonna change anything!! You are a slave Neo, and until politicians and govt. and FBI, CIA, cops, judges, lawyers, corporations and any other corrupt agency or organizations have the Fear of God put in them or at the very least the fear of Mob put in them, they won't give a damn.

They think you are a worthless peon that can be pushed around, beaten and or killed all for their amusement. If you'll put up with having you and your loved ones felt up at airports or be subjected to mass doses of DNA destroying radiation, of course they are gonna be able to get away with this crap.

But go ahead write your letter see where that gets you. Probably on a DHS list as an agitator or an undesirable.

This opening of packages must be something new. I retired from FedEx, and to open any package was a terminal offense.
